Maximizing the Versatility of Recessed Lighting Fixtures:

Recessed lighting fixtures consist of three parts that make up the basic fixture assembly - trim, housing and lamp. Today’s recessed lighting manufacturers offer interchangeable parts for the greatest versatility in selecting recessed fixtures for a home.

Recessed Trims:

Reflectors - maximize light production in accent, task and general lighting functions.

Open trims - economical and easy to install, open trims create a finished look for a lighting fixture.

Baffles - minimize glare and reduce overall brightness by narrowing the light beam and provide excellent control for reflector lamps.

Adjustables and Directionals - maximize the versatility of ceiling lighting fixtures and are especially effective for creating emphasis on artwork.

Diffusers - diffuse the light for a softer, wider beam, are especially popular for dressing areas and bathrooms.

Shallow and Steep Ceiling Reflector Trims - sloped recessed trims reduce glare from recessed fixtures used on sloped ceilings.

Recessed Housings:

Incandescent and Halogen Recessed Housings - offer the most economy and versatility for recessed lights. Dimmer controls are readily available for incandescent dimming. Dimmer switches designed for halogen housings must be used to control halogen housings.

Fluorescent Recessed Housings - using compact fluorescent housings engineered with fluorescent ballasts are the best choice for energy savings and long lamp life. Ceiling lighting using fluorescent housings is ideal for hard-to-reach ceiling applications.

Low Voltage MR16 Recessed Housings - equipped with low voltage transformers for MR16 lamps, low voltage housings allow precise recessed accent lighting. Installing low voltage dimmer switches increases lighting control.

Remodeling Recessed Housings - where there is no access above the ceiling, a remodeling housing can be used. Specially designed for easy installation into a finished ceiling, remodeling housings can create ceiling can lighting where it was not possible before.

Insulated and Non-Insulated Recessed Housings - recessed cans must be installed at least three inches away from any insulation.  Where direct contact with insulation is necessary, a recessed lighting housing must have a UL Insulated Ceiling (IC) rating.

Housing Aperture Size - determines the size of the opening that emits the light beam and size of the opening in the ceiling. Recessed housings apertures are available in sizes designed for general lighting, accent and task lighting and high ceiling lighting.

Sloped Ceiling Recessed Housings - shallow or steep slope rated recessed cans may be used for sloped or vaulted ceilings.

Recessed Lighting Lamps/Light Bulbs:

Incandescent Light Bulbs:

The most popular choice because of low initial cost, incandescent light bulbs are available in many sizes for many different uses:

A – Standard bulbs for wide-beam light in reflectors and diffusers used for general lighting applications.

R – Emit a smaller light beam to allow greater control in accent and display lighting.

PAR – Used to generate lighting covering a wider area, such as a wall, or for task lighting and general room lighting.

MR16 – A small beam pinhole lamp for precise light control, it emits a bright white light perfect for dramatic accent lighting.

Halogen Light Bulbs:

Extremely energy efficient, halogen light bulbs provide more light for the same energy cost - lasting up to three times longer than standard incandescent bulbs. The bright white light generated by halogen light bulbs lends themselves to recessed ceiling lighting uses. Because the beam can be accurately directed, halogen recessed fixtures are an excellent choice for lighting artwork or for emphasizing a focal point in a room.

Compact Fluorescent Light Bulbs:

Compact fluorescent light bulbs with fluorescent dimmers is the future of lighting because of our energy usage concerns. Fluorescent light bulbs use up to 80 percent less energy than incandescent and have a lifespan nearly 20 times as long - up to an eight-year life for some models. Fluorescent light bulbs are available in a variety of shades from a warm bright white to a cool diffused white and can be found in instant-on, flicker-free varieties.

How to Recognize Quality in Recessed Lighting:

It’s All In The Details:

From the design concept to the final quality control inspection, quality resides in the many details and leads to lighting that performs up to expectations. Recessed lighting manufacturers cannot take quality for granted even though customers often do.  Quality in lighting function, design and performance is in the attention to details.

Recessed Fixture Quality Control: High quality manufacturers, such as Lightolier and Halo, utilize quality control inspections and testing as part of the production process. The importance of a final quality control inspection and testing is vital to customer satisfaction.
